I voted 90%. I have to wait for the DVD/Bluray to come out until I give my final opinion, as my theater experience was somewhat unsatisfactory. I'll have to watch it alone several times, like I did with Batman Begins, to see how I like it.

Unsatisfactory. How high did you set your expectations?

I say unsatisfactory because of the distraction by loud moviegoers behind me. Also, it takes me several viewings to understand all the elements of a complicated film, and since TDKR is over two and a half hours, I didn't understand everything, mainly
the prologue and why the guy was being kidnapped. I know it has something to do with the bomb but couldn't connect anything beyond that
. My expectations going in were very high, as I'd basically mapped out the film from the trailers and clips we were shown during the promo campaign. It's not that I expected a better movie, just a slightly different one. I still thought it was phenomonal, though.

See a matinee one afternoon. Few people will be there and you can really watch the movie. SOrry this happened to you, that sucks.

Let me guess, we shouldn't read this unless we want to be kissed on the nearest possible Friday by the love of our lives? :roll:

50% Awesome
Nolan's worst effort by far.
Didn't even feel like a Nolan film.
